“This challenge is about getting as much meat on there as possible from what we had on the menu, but at the end of the day the food also needs to taste good."

The George has previously served the UK's biggest – and tallest – burger, as well as building itself into local folklore with the world's largest parmo, the Teesside speciality of deep-fried breaded chicken, with bechamel sauce and cheese.

Craig said: “People need to give us 24 hours notice if they are going to do the challenge because the amount of meat on there takes up the whole grill.”
